arm Page Twelve The A The Senior Class Historij ¥ E, THE CLASS of '24, entered the old High School in September 1920. Our freshman class was composed of twenty-two green but enthus-' T iastic students. We were very shy and timid but thought ourselves pretty smart on November 15th, when we entered the new High School. We were the first class to escape the epidemic of initiation because our principal, Mr. Holden, wouldn’t let the upper classmen harm such an intelligent looking student body. Mr. Holden taught us to add A and B; Mr. Perry taught us that the moon WASN'T made of green cheese; Miss Wegener taught us to say “Amo te”; and Miss Perry taught us to say 1 saw' and not 1 seen’. Oh Boy! Our first class meeting was wonderful. We elected Gladys Dabler as president and Lester Oloffson as secretary. Of course, we didn’t need a treasurer because we didn’t have any money and didn’t expect to get any. We had blue, white and silver for our class colors, because we thought they were very pretty and besides we wanted more colors than the big smart classes had— t'was a wonder we didn’t have some green with it to set it off. Although we were timid, or in other words scared, we all took our turns throwing paper wads and notes through the air. When vacation at last arrived we were much more intelligent than we were when we entered the old State Bank—due to our careful instruction and partly to our new school building. When we returned to school in the fall, we were a little more dignified and felt pretty big, as all Sophomores are inclined to feel. We had a class meeting about the first week, electing Alfaretta Walker president and Ruth Shepard secretary and treasurer. Now, since we were older and had a sense of reasoning we realized that two colors would be better than three—so we took out the silver, leaving our colors blue and white, standing for truth and loyalty. We selected the modest little violet for our flower, because we believed we were modest, and Up for our motto because we believed that was where we were going. We achieved great marvels during this year, winning second place in the Honor System. We could never had done it, had it not been for our class advisor Miss Wegener, who inspired us on. In October a new teacher, Mrs. Rudiger was added to the faculty, making five teachers. It was during our Sophomore year that we, as a class, were at our best. During our Junior year our class took a slump—everything was against us. We lost in the Honor System but this was not entirely our fault although I admit we talked to our neighbors more than was necessary and took the don’t care spirit. But just the same our Junior year will always be remembered for two things—the good old times we always had in English class and the most splendid banquet in the History of Manlius High School that we gave the Seniors. Perhaps I need not say very much concerning our Senior year. If you will turn to the calendar in this book, you will see that our Senior year speaks for itself. 4
